"ticking" Gas Guage

Hi, I haven't posted much, but my new to me 2008 335's gas guage is doing an odd thing. When I enter the car before keying on (comfort access) my gass guage "ticks" or bounces right at the empty side of the guage, and then after a few seconds registers the actual reading and is steady.

Is this common, or a sign of something that needs to be repaired.

Thanks.

If you feel it is an issue, contact your dealer. Doesn't seem like anything major, though.

Unless you think there's a bomb in it or something

sounds like a small issue, wait a while and see if it stops if not go to the dealer

Well, atleast I'm not alone. if it's normal or not who knows, but it doesn't seem that common or everyone would notice it. Not a biggie, but it is a forum so i thought it was worth a shot.

Mine started doing this too, almost daily now. I wouldn't consider it that much of an issue if (on mine at least) it always reads ±5% of the actual contents of the tank. From what I can tell, the cruising range estimation appears to be correct, however. I asked my SA about it previously, who said that the entire instrument cluster would have to be replaced, so I'm waiting until the next time I have to take it in for something else to have it done.
